Since I have learned sooooo much from this list, I
thought I would search for schooling else where in the
valley for you guys. Hopefully, the links will pop the
class schedules for several CC's. Hope this
helps...now IF I can get the monies..hum..tight for
two months. I would go to Estrella even if it is a
huge long bus ride from one end of rt 41 to the
other!!!
The following are sites I found searching the Phx
metro area in addition to the previously listed Mesa
CC closed classes. Most have openings. At Glendale CC
you can split the class into an intro, intermediate
and final sections if you want/need to.

Nothing more is expected.
Nothing less is acceptable!
